Wahhabi doctrine makes hesitation itself a capital offense stripping apostates of protection.

Evidence

No one’s property and blood is protected until he adds to all of that the declaration of disbelief in everything worshipped besides Allah, and if he hesitates or has doubts about any of this, then his property and blood are unprotected. — Nadim N. Rouhana and Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian, When Politics Are Sacralized, 1856
